You rely on your industrial exhaust system to keep the air inside your building clean, cool, and dry. Exhaust systems help remove contaminants, heat, and humidity from the air inside your building. However, these systems may also cause noise. If you have a noisy exhaust system, work with our team to find noise control solutions. This can help you avoid noise pollution and other dangers of noisy ventilation equipment.
Is Your Industrial Exhaust System Contributing to Noise Pollution?
As your facility’s industrial exhaust system works to remove contaminated air from the building, it also likely creates some noise due to fan motors and other components. However, if this sound is excessive, it may be that your building is contributing to noise pollution inside and outside.
Noise pollution is a serious problem. It creates many dangers to your workforce as well as nearby people and facilities. Noise pollution is such a problem that the EPA even enacted the Noise Control Act to help governments institute noise control laws to prevent noise pollution.
In addition to regulations from organizations like OSHA for noise exposure, there are also many laws in place for the amount of noise your facility can produce. Usually this is a basic decibel reading at a certain distance from your building. The laws combating noise pollution generally vary from state to state and local government to local government.
However, one common culprit of excessive noise coming from your industrial facility is the exhaust system. These systems are made of industrial fans and ventilation equipment that can lead to noise, particularly if the system isn’t designed or operated properly. Fortunately, there are several solutions to help stop noise from your industrial exhaust system.
Ventilation System Noise Control Solutions for Industrial Exhaust Fans
Practically any component in your industrial exhaust system can create noise. However, most facilities find that it’s the exhaust fan that causes the most issues from a sound perspective. The good news is that there are many ventilation system noise control options to help reduce fan noise.
Generally, it’s better to attack the root cause of the problem first. That means working with our ventilation specialists to identify the cause of the noise. This requires a sophisticated knowledge of fan acoustics.
Once we know the cause of the issue, we can work to reduce noise levels and prevent negative effects of noise pollution. There may be many different ways to resolve the problem, including replacing the fan with a quieter option or installing fan silencers on the exhaust blower to absorb some of the noise.
